Find a single study that contradicts what I posted. Oh you did and didn't find anything?
Don't belabor me with grammar Mr. data are plural; the WORD data IS plural.
If age is THE determinative risk factor for Covid deaths then why did the death rate climb among unvaxxed republicans? If anything there were fewer old republicans after pre-vax Covid swept through a population of all ages that was also mask and social distancing averse. So why would the gap widen further 'once COVID-19 vaccines were introduced', bunch of old republicans moved to FL and OH?
The study looked at deaths in both Florida and Ohio during the first 22 months of the pandemic and found the overall excess death rate of Republican voters was 15% higher than that of Democrats. The gap widened further once COVID-19 vaccines were introduced.
The higher excess death rate observed among Republican voters may continue through subsequent stages of the pandemic.
After May of 2021, roughly 1 month after COVID-19 vaccines became widely available, the gap between Republicans and Democrats further widened, to 7.7 percentage points (95% PI, 6.0 to 9.3 percentage points) in the adjusted analysis, or a 43% difference, the authors said. The difference was seen in Florida, but was most pronounced in Ohio.
By looking at individual-level connections between political affiliations and excess deaths, the study highlights that the most significant divide occurred only after COVID-19 vaccines became widely available.
"The results suggest that well-documented differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republican and Democratic voters may have been factors in the severity and trajectory of the pandemic," the authors wrote.
